Hansen Bush Cherry 
An easily grown, highly ornamental shrub 
that produces quantities of delicious fruit. 
Large, dark purple and very sweet and juicy, 
it resembles plums. Heavy bearing, they come 
massed in clusters from the ground up and 
almost completely cover the branches. Excel- 
lent for canning whole and for making jams, 
jellies and preserves. Shrub perfectly hardy and 
grows about 4 feet high. 
Big, well rooted plants, 75¢ each 
CULTURE of Raspberry and Blackberry. Buy 
the best plants obtainable and set them out in 
the early spring or late fall. Allow 3 feet be- 
tween the plants and 7 feet between the rows. 
Dig holes 18 inches deep and a foot across. Fill 
to within 6 inches of the top with a mixture of 
half dirt, half peat moss. Trim plants back to 
about 12 inches, cut off all broken roots. Set 
plants in hole on loose soil 3 inches deeper than 
they grew in the nursery, spreading out rocts 
carefully. Fill in with same mixture of peat moss 
and soil to within 2 inches of the top. Soak 
with water. Pack soil thoroughly around plant 
and fill hole to top. Spray with Bordeaux Mix~ 
ture and feed with a complete plant food or 
dehydrated manure. Raspberries and Black- 
berries produce their fruit on 2-year-old canes, 
which should be removed after all the fruit is 
picked. In the early spring remove dead and 
weak growth and thin canes to stand at least 
6 inches apart. Cut back tops to 4 feet, leaving 
several laterals with 3 or 4 buds on each cane. 
A muich of peat moss, straw or manure holds 
moisture and makes cultivation easier. Berry 
plants will not grow or live unless you keep the 
ground moist.
